How do I get the full toolbox back?

You can also reconfigure the toolbox groups in the Tools Configuration widget below this: make different groups, keep some tools that you use often as non-grouped, etc...

Changing the setting in Menu Mode from "show on hover in single column" to "show on click" finally made it possible to click on members of the group that weren't in the partial toolbox so that was a big step forward. I was finally able to choose the Paintbrush or Pencil tools. I also found that if I unchecked "Use tool groups", I was able to see the full set of tools in the toolbox without having to click or hover on anything else, which was what I had been wanting. However, now that I now how to get to the tools that aren't in the toolbox directly, I can live with having "Use tool groups" checked to minimize the size of the toolbox. (If I uncheck "Use tool box", I can change the width of the toolbox but apparently not the height, which I find offputting.)

I was also going to ask how to change the line width and pattern but found those when I checked the "Show active brush, pattern and gradient" option.

Thanks very much for helping me find those things and getting GIMP working in a satisfactory way! It was basically unusable the way it was.
